The Tamron MP1010M or MP1110M cameras are end-of-life. Please contact sales for remaining stock and alternative products. We recommend the Harrier 10x AF-Zoom IP Camera (Tamron MP3010M-EV) as their improved successor. Lighter and with similar dimensions, it is the smallest AF-Zoom camera on the market.

The Harrier 10x AF-Zoom IP Camera (Tamron MP1010M/MP1110M) comes with an 10x optical zoom and provides IP (Ethernet) video output with low latency H.264 RTP streaming. Based on the Tamron MP1010M, this Ethernet IP autofocus-zoom camera is available with optical vibration compensation (-VC version), or without (-WP version).

This OEM camera solution is extremely compact, measuring only 69.4 x 37.6 x 41.5mm and weighing only 105g. It is a high image-quality camera module with SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M compliant video output up to 1080p30 Full HD. Benefiting from Tamron’s high quality optical design and low reflection coating technologies, the camera offers color blur reduction, high contrast and many other sophisticated camera features.

The IP Ethernet video stream is provided by the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board. The high-performance processor device on the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board supports ONVIF services and a system administration website. This Harrier IP Website can be used to control the camera interface board, camera and the IP video output. Application examples of how to add text/graphical overlays to the live video stream and send VISCA commands to the camera via the ONVIF media service are available in the Harrier IP Example Software.

The Harrier IP Ethernet camera is available in four variants: regular Ethernet (AS-CIB-IP-001-1010-A), wireless version (AS-CIB-IP-002-1010-A), Power over Ethernet (PoE, AS-CIB-IP-003-1010-A) and wireless PoE (AS-CIB-IP-004-1010-A). It can be easily evaluated using the Evaluation Kit for Harrier IP. Find a tutorial video on “How to set up a Harrier IP camera” under the Video tab.

As latency can be an issue in Ethernet IP imaging systems, Harrier IP camera hardware and firmware has been optimized to reduce latency to a minimum. Read more about how to obtain the lowest latency with your Ethernet IP autofocus-zoom camera and IP interface board system. For more details (and measured latencies for our Harrier IP AF-Zoom modules) please download the Technical Note: Obtaining the lowest latency from your Harrier AF-Zoom IP camera.

USB (J3)

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is fitted with a 12-way 0.5mm pitch FFC connector (J3) to enable connection to external/remote SD card sockets.

Specifications - Harrier Ethernet Connection Board

Harrier Ethernet/IP board connector (J1)

The Harrier Ethernet Connection Board is fitted with a 4-way JST connector (J3) for connection to an external power supply. The same supply will also power the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board via J1.

Ethernet connector (J2)

The Harrier Ethernet Connection Board is fitted with a 9-way JST connector (J2) for connection to an external 10/100/1000M Ethernet connection/cable.

Operation and features - Harrier IP Camera Interface Board

Operation

When connected to a suitable power supply the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board will boot and then power-up the camera. Once the camera has initialized it will start transmitting an LVDS  video stream; the camera interface board will compress the video (H.264), convert it to RTP format, and broadcast it from the Ethernet port. Any RTP/ONVIF compatible application (e.g. VLC player or GStreamer) can then receive and display the video. ONVIF services can be used to control the camera and video stream settings.
When the interface board is connected to the network, any ONVIF compatible application, such as the ONVIF Device Manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/), can be used to discover the IP address of the board/camera and control the camera/video settings.

Setting an IP address

By default, the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is automatically assigned an IP address using DHCP, but a fixed IP address can be set using the Harrier IP Website or the ONVIF Device Management Service.

ONVIF Services

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board platform is controlled using the ONVIF protocol and implements the ONVIF Profile S. Visual Studio can load the WSDL files that describe the various ONVIF SOAP services and generate a C# class with methods for the various ONVIF functions.
The services supported are listed below:

  • Device Management service: allows control of the platform (e.g. set time and date, etc.).
  • Media service: Media configurations are used to determine the streaming properties of requested media streams; this enables control of the H.264 encoder and on-screen displays (OSD).
  • Imaging service: provides configuration and control data for imaging specific properties.
  • Device IO service: provides direct communication to the camera serial port (this enables VISCA communication with an attached camera to allow full control of the camera and all its features).

For detailed information on these services please see the ONVIF documentation at https://www.onvif.org/profiles/specifications/; examples of how to use the media and DeviceIO services are available from Active Silicon.

Camera control

The camera video mode and H.264 compression parameters can be managed using the ONVIF media service. The ONVIF Imaging service enables any ONVIF-compliant third-party software/application to control the camera settings.

However, most AF-zoom block cameras have many more settings than those available through the ONVIF Imaging service. These additional settings are usually changed using VISCA commands sent over a serial interface. The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board supports direct serial communication with cameras and applications can access this serial interface via the ONVIF DeviceIO service: function SendReceiveSerialCommand(). This function allows applications to send, and optionally receive, data to/from the camera. Please refer to the ONVIF DeviceIO specification for the complete documentation of this function.

This means that all camera features supported by the VISCA protocol can be controlled by the end application over the Ethernet interface. For examples, please refer to the Harrier IP Example Software. For more information on VISCA control and camera features, please refer to the documentation for your camera.

Harrier IP Website

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board hosts a website which can be used to control the board and camera.
When the board is connected, the website can be accessed by entering the IP address of the camera into a web browser.
For more information please see the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board datasheet.

Video Graphical Overlay Control

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is able to superimpose graphics and text on the live video stream. This includes graphics with transparent/alpha blended pixels. The application manages these overlays using an API from the ONVIF Media service. The overlays can be stored in system memory (volatile) or in the flash on the platform (non-volatile). The flash has a high but limited number of guaranteed writes, hence in applications where the overlays are frequently changed it is recommended that the volatile setting be used. The functions CreateOSD() and SetOSD() of the media profile have had an optional boolean element added to select if the OSD should be volatile (saved to memory) or not (saved to flash). More in the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board datasheet.

SD Card Interface

The SD card interface supports all standard micro SD cards (up to 512GB) and operates them in SDR25 mode. High data rates that come with UHS II cards are not supported and UHS II cards will operate in UHS I modes (lower data rate). The SD card can be used to store graphical overlays or video from the camera.

Harrier IP Example Software

The Harrier IP Example Software from Active Silicon contains sample application code that shows how to use the ONVIF services for adding text and graphical overlays to the live video stream and sending VISCA commands to the camera to enable full camera control.

Status LED ("LED1/2/3/4")

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is fitted with several multi-color LEDs to indicate camera status.

  • LED1 – ACT
    – indicates activity on the Ethernet link (flashing=activity, steady on=no activity).
  • LED2 – LNK
    – indicates the state of the Ethernet link (Green=1G link OK, Red= 10/100 link OK, Off=no link).
  • LED3 – WiFi
    – TBD.
  • LED4 – STAT
    – indicates the status of the board system (steady green=board has booted successfully).
